Name
d4x - A download manager for XSynopsys
d4x [OPTIONS] ... [URL]Description
d4x (also known as Downloader for X) is a Linux GUI program for downloading files from the Internet. It supports FTP and HTTP (not completly yet but the current implementation is quite enough for downloading). The program will resume interupted downloads if the server supports it too. d4x is like kget for Linux and ReGet or GetRight for Microsoft Windows (tm).Options
Many of the options can be used to control a pre-existing instance of d4x. When d4x finds an instance of itself already running, it will forward the command to the already running instance for execution. If there no pre-existing instance is found, then it will perform the requested operations itself.
The command line will be parsed from left to right. This means that the requested operations will be performed in that order.
- d4x accepts the following options:
- URL
- Add the indicated file to the download queue. A dialog box will appear in which you can indicate where the file should be saved and set other options. If d4x is already running, then the new instance will simply ask the existing instance to add the file and then it will exit. If existing instance already have this URL in queue in inactive state than it will be moved to *wait* state.
